I listened to it on the radio, and played video games…lol
We aren’t supposed to lose on Skubal nights. This could get real ugly.
Not surprising.
When the GM tells the team - “you guys aren’t good enough”, they’re bound to believe him and start playing that way. Not surprised in the least.
Going back to the box scores rather than watching the games.
Two absolutely horrendous trade deadlines under Harris. Never should have moved Flaherty after we pulled to 5 games of the WC.

5 games, but 4 teams to leapfrog to get there.
Odds were under 7.2% when we were 52-54, to get the 3rd WC. 1 in 14.
Probably didn’t factor in Greene and Olson being hurt .
Easy sell, sorry. They aren’t close yet. 25-26. Pretty much knew that coming in unless they overplayed their talent, and the pitching did.
Pre season I had them at 78-80 wins. Probabky be closer to 76.

Went to game tonight. Was fun while Skubal was pitching.
When did game time change to 6:40? I haven’t watched much since Ballys took over. Is this an effort to get the games done earlier for viewers?

I never heard why they changed times, but it has been that way all year.

Agree to disagree. Young guys don’t pay attention to odds. They were hot, now they’re not. Gave up too soon, you’ll never convince me otherwise. Easy cop out, sorry. No fight in the dog, now no dog in the fight. The opposite of grit. Another wasted year.
I didn’t mind sellling Canha, Kelly or Chafin. Flaherty’s a game changer who gives you two aces, and a punchers chance. The guys we got for him are not game changers, and the difference between them and the 30-somethng draft pick we would have gotten is not worth flushing away a season for.

How much did you pay for those cards?
At this point, it should be all about developing the young guys for next year. I don’t even care about wins and losses.
I really, really want the #1 overall pick next year. The #1 prospect is going to be a franchise changing player. He has a familiar name that you might recognize… Ethan Holliday.
He is bigger and stronger than his older brother, with the same contact skills and much bigger power.

$40 for the Stadium Club Chrome Beam Team Gold refractor serial #'d to 50, $18 to grade it. Solid $200 now.
Had good luck grading the BTs. Had an Ohtani rookie base come back a 10 and a Wander Franco green # to 99 comw back a 10.
$250 for the Gold Label red auto #14 in a serial run of 25. They are heavy as hell, metal frame, thick. The upper left corner has a chip, hard to see, so wont grade it. Last one sold for about $650

Great news on Meadows. Hopefully he can pick up where he left off.
Hurter wasn’t having a very good year overall, but if he can even be descent, and eat some innings, that will be big.
Thanks for the update @frm710

It looks like Maeda is getting the start today.

No, I believe he will be the second pitcher, pitching bulk of innings but not starting.

Yahoo has him listed as the starter, but they are wrong alot.
I had to take the Royals today. Feeling dirty.
